He really isn't bad.
Hence the reason he is in demand.
Unlike a lot of our other players

The save on Sunday was top draw

He’s rubbish. He’s not a bad shot stopper but he is terrible at every other aspect of goalkeeping. Terrible distribution, zero control of his box, constantly rushes out and does stupid stuff which shits up his defenders. A liability.

Yes he makes some very good saves. But frankly a lot of the time he makes them look dramatic when they don’t need to be.
 
what has he saved tonight that kinsky doesnt? hes a useless cunt in 90% of games. we would of been a better side tonight with kinsky who apparently cant catch a cold, says it all.

vicario is a big reason to why we are shit, creates panic for us out of stuff that should be easily dealt with, cant kick a ball competently, never mind well.
 
Hate this man! At the stage where his confidence is so shot that he’s in that mode of “should do better” with almost every goal!

This is far more dangerous that outright clangers as it makes it a much tougher choice for the manager to bench
 
He's certainly shit at a lot of things but is penalties the biggest weakness of them all? Forster got a lot of stick (rightly) for his performance in the penalty shootout against Fulham a few years ago but I genuinely think Vicario is even worse at it.
 
He’s actually unreal there’s still comments from Spurs fans on here as recently as this week who still rate him. Utterly clueless. Vicario is a huge reason why we’re going to get relegated.

He’s the worst spurs keeper we’ve had in decades. An absolute clown show. Mistake after mistake. He injects terror into the defence. And he’s a cunt too.

I can’t wait until he fucks off this summer. The day I see he is fucked off out of this club can’t be too soon
 
hes a very average keeper, that is all, was average in Italy and is average here. The difference is that the last couple of years theres been a change in the PL where now goalies dont get the protection (admittedly over protected, I thought at the time) that they used to get, and what he was probably used to in Italy. Now youre getting pulled all over the place, blocked off, nudged in the back (if youve played in goal and jumped for a ball and had this happen to you, you should know what this does). He cant cope with it.

Why we never went for an English keeper like Pope, Henderson or Trafford still amazes me. All would do a better job than Vic, and dont take up a foreign player space. Presumably another Don Fabio punt
 
Understandably there are reservations about playing Kinsky, but unfortunately the reasons to keep Vic between the sticks seem to have all but vanished.

Kinsky would at least offer some stability playing out from the back.

2021/2022 was his first proper Serie A season for what it's worth.

Stats don't lie, he is not a good goalkeeper.
 
The ball seems to go straight through him 1 on 1s, beaten from range all the time, poor distribution, can't command his area, doesn't organise his back 4 and has weak wrists.. He's got some good reflexes but no other qualities I expect from a goal keeper.

I've genuinely seen overall better keepers playing non league football just they don't have Hollywood reflex fingertip saves in them like Vicario.
